A gift wrapped in snowflakes

This week's theme at The Kraft Journal is "Christmas Gifts". I saw a tutorial a while back on a blog hop and thought it was so cute. It's called "Box in a Bag" and you can find an excellent tutorial for it at Splitcoast Stampers here.

I created the box that forms the base of the bag with Brown Kraft cardstock and used another piece for the bag body. I stamped and embossed snowflakes in white all over the kraft paper. I wrapped the base of the bag with a punched strip of Buff Ivory and two different Merry Christmas paper tapes.

Hi Tracy: This is the most interesting project. SCS is great for that! I love your santa image and the ticket you put sideways on it. The paper is gorgeous and the trim at the bottom is beautiful. What a great addition with the candle and the completely white background to the pic. Just gorgeous! Divine Love, Samara

I'm a wife to a wonderful loving husband of 30 years and the mother of an incredible daughter. I have always loved paper and finding ways to manipulate it. Store bought embellishments are wonderful, but I love to figure out how to make them or something very similar to them myself. Scrapbooking and cardmaking are great outlets for this kind of crafting. I may not be that great of an artist, but I thank God for allowing me to be able to at least attempt to be one.
